Joshua

Certified Tutor

I went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and earned my BA in History and Psychology with a minor in Leadership Studies. While studying at UIUC, I also tutored at the junior high - introductory college course level in social studies and related subjects are my forte.

As a tutor, I find that its easiest when the student learns in a guided manner, rather than bland memorization or content exposure. With one on one teaching, it is possible to do this effectively and, with effort, will lead to higher absorption of material - and yes, higher grades.

Outside of tutoring, I'm currently a contractor at Scott doing IT work. It keeps me busy but also allows me to use downtime to continue my own education. I'm on track to continue on to earn a secondary education endorsement, and likely won't be stopping there, as I find the technology of education fascinating. I also substitute teach at a few local schools as I'm available, and I'm a pretty avid baseball, soccer, and Formula 1 fan.
